The section chief looked at the check being handed over, his eyes slightly glazed over. Now considered a core member of the group, he was somewhat aware of company policies. In the early stages, the company did not plan to invest heavily, so he didn't think there would be a significant investment in automation, as it didn't affect the trial production phase.

"President Ye, this?" The section chief thought Ye Fan was joking with him.
